Is Halo Wars going cross-platform?

Halo Wars is rumoured to be Microsoft's next full-bloodied first-party game to support cross-platform play between PC and Xbox 360.
According to rumour circulating, a PC version of the RTS is going to be announced at next month's GDC in San Francisco.
To be honest, we wouldn't be at all surprised if Halo Wars was confirmed for PC at some point.

RE: Is Halo Wars going cross-platform?@sagexsdx,Well Halo originaly was made with console controls in mind and it still came to pc. If there is one type of game where the controls suffer more on a console than a FPS its a RTS. MS just came out and said the rumors arn't true http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=181087 (after previously saying they had no commet). I don't doubt they will and probably alredy are making the PC version. But it will probably come out like a year later so it dosn't kill the console sales of the gmae.[ Oracle ] [ Level 19 ] [ Rank: 463 ]bids

RE: Is Halo Wars going cross-platform?@sagexsdx, a PC version of an RTS is a natural fit, but I agree with your comments that the point of the game was supposed to be a "made for console" perspective.[ Elite ] [ Level 20 ] [ Rank: 408 ]bids

hrm i hope not. unless they have two separate teams, i thought this game was developed with console controls in mind. i would hate for pc rts controls to affect how the 360 ones come into play... unless they decide that their input method is so good they decide to redefine the PC rts by making it controlled like the 360 one...[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 148 ]bids

Even this rumour might already affect potential sales for those gamers who have both PC and X360. I believe they would just wait for the PC version, especially IF the PC game is only $50 (lower priced than X360 ones). RTS is more suited to mouse and keyboard play, as opposed to analog and digital.
